Can't stop the trains running

This video is about a Marklin Oebb Rh 1141, converted to digital (ESU decoder) with led's on both sides.the other loco is a Liliput which I ahve also converted and added the missing rails.This loco is a very poor performer, lacks in power and I found the motor very weak.My next video will be an OEBB Rh 1110 or 1010.

As most of you already know, my focus is on Swiss trains. There are however, a number of Austrian Eurocity (EC) and Euro Nacht (EN) trains that come into Switzerland. Most of the ECs have now been replaced by the modern Railjet trainsets. Thanks to my Maerklin (1:100), Roco, RailTop, LSM and Liliput models, I have been able to recreate many of those train consists in HO.

Here is a photo of two of my OBB coaches (Memoba/LSM 97202) WLABm ex-CNL and (RailTop 32515) Bcmz, both in upgrading livery. These coaches are part of my consist of the EN "Wiener Walzer" which consists of coaches from Zuerich to Budapest with coaches to Salzburg/Prague and Vienna in the consist.

The full consist includes a mix of OBB and MAV coaches. In previous calendar years, it also included SBB Bcm couchette coaches (Roco 44976) that now belong to RAlpin, the Swiss ROLA company. The MAV coaches run the full route. The OBB couchette and sleeper coaches make up two sections, one that is detached in Salzburg and goes on to Prague, the other which is detached in Vienna.

The images still show the double deck sleepers in their original blue livery (LSM 47001). They have since been repainted in the current "Upgrading" livery.The lok for the Zuerich-Buchs segment is a Re 4/4II. For the Austrian segment, the lok is usually a Taurus (1016/1116 or 1044).

Impressive coaches Mike!

Now if you would ship them over to me I'd be willing to put a decent Rh 1044 in front!

Rinus,

no sound decoder as yet, but all the coonections are ready to connect one.

Have you explored the Austrian forum ? this is if you speak German

some of the members have a very good knowledge of Austrian locos and the latest discussion is about the ÖBB Rh 1073 from Rivarossi, some fantastic scratchbuildings from older steam locos and photos from older electric Arlberg freight locos (Rh 1080) from about 1928

Purchases: I'm tossing up between Rh 93 for A$ 149.00, Rh 1073 and the Rh 16.08

Hi everyone one of a last pictures where pulling a freight, flat wagons with trucks, if you could see a passenger wagon.If im not mistaken ROCO use to produce similar restaurant/sleeping wagon for those freight sets.But i have a short memery anyone by any chance remember a number of that wagon?

Märklin has had a model 4232 (as had Roco 45305) in a livery of DB AG as seen on the picture in this link.This DB AG coach is a couchette (Liegewagen) Bcm 247 is the marking on the Roco model.

On the photos from the Brennerbahn in Tirol, it looks more like an ordinary ÖBB TS2 sleeping coach that has been produced by Roco 64756 (ÖBB and TEEN logos) and a long time ago by Märklin 4155 (TEEN logo). A coach of that type is seen here.

Hi John! I work in a german/dutch company so the german language is familiar to me .

You meant bahnforum.info?

Yes I certainly have. Nice forum, very informative. Allthough they share a common sort of humor I don't quite understand.

I was a member once for some time, but the inability to see or upload pictures or start topics, when being in a junior rank, did not encouraged me to participate. I could not see the pictures in the link you sent me earlier of the guy building a piece of the Brennerbahn too. Too bad. Besides that I keep an eye on there discussions about new models.

Hallo ÖBB troopers.

Today the train journey continuous east into Styria and the beautiful Selztal, Rh 1016 is heading towards Bruck/Mur and Vienna with an expresstrain from Salzburg.Another one followed soon afterwards with a Rh 1043.

2 hours later another Rh 1016 appeared but with drastic consequences, the loco derailed and the Pantograph got tangled with the overheadwire.To tell you the truth it was the other way around.

This delayed us for hours and not to waste any time I took some nightphotos
